i finally got Edgar Markov!!!!!! time to build *another* commander deck

I’m in SUCH a reading slump since throne of glass like I picked up daughter of no worlds and I’m already in love with it but it’s not set in erilea and chaol and Dorian isn’t there and we aren’t reclaiming terrasen y’know?

Now that I’ve finished the series, here’s my personal ranking on the Throne of Glass series: 1. Crown of Midnight 2. Queen of Shadows 3. Kingdom of Ash 4. Tower of Dawn 5. The Assassin’s Blade 6. Throne of Glass 7. Empire of Storms 8. Heir of Fire

the tricky terrain mtg deck (omo queen of vesuva) is so disgusting because what do you mean I can duplicate urzas tower, turn cloudpost into everything, cascade 8x, make basically infinity land, untap all of it, create ~6 10/10 hydra copies, and crack my ice land for a 20/20 avatar in one turn lmfao

and now I’m finally taking on kingdom of ash (I’m ~300 pages in) and i can feel the impending doom creeping in.

oh hey i finished rain of shadows & endings the other day and tbh it’s not as good as people hyped it up to be (for me) but it was still a good time. I’d give it like 4⭐️ - the MMC & FMC were kinda annoying to me and we didn’t have much development for a while BUT it kept me entertained

ngl I love my duskmourn death toll mtg deck

anyway, time to read rain of shadows & endings - I’ve heard it’s great

i finished onyx storm and I’m ngl I have such a love hate relationship with those books. It ended SO WELL but the middle of it was a chore to say the least. definitely not reading slump worthy for me which is great but I need answers??? I kinda have a feeling I know but ??????

btw I’m like 100 pages in to onyx storm and I do not think it was worth all the people getting angry over this Target special editions sorry 🫣 do you obviously, I don’t ride that hard for the series but I keep up with it… and this so far is…. not living up to the theories people had lol

okay I’m taking a small break before kingdom of ash to read onyx storm after all because I can feel the burnout coming and I’d rather not do that so we’re just gonna sliiiiiide over for a book and go right back.

my boyfriend got me into magic the gathering 🙃 now i have a vampire deck

so i finished tower of dawn last night and I genuinely do not understand the hate it gets. i never disliked chaol so maybe i had a better connection to it but that was the CUTEST book in the series and was so important. idc i gave it 5⭐️ - its a slow start but omg I loved every minute

additionally, i gave into the hype and pre-ordered onyx storm; she’s gonna sit pretty on my shelf until im done with the throne of glass series because i don’t feel a huge need to pull myself back into this story quite yet, but I didn’t want to struggle to find it weeks later when i know it’ll be

im about 150 pages in to tower of dawn. i know this book is polarizing and people either love it or hate it but I think im in the group that loves it. especially after not tandem reading, i think its a nice breath of fresh air away from the rest of the squad without veering too far off the plot

i finished empire of storms…… im gonna need 3-5 business days to process that one

woke up with food poisoning so I stayed home from work and im ngl im so miserable right now. i have a fever and chills and im exhausted just by existing. back and neck pain are terrible….. i didnt even read today im so tired 🥲

i did NOT expect empire of storms to kick things into overdrive right away omg

the eggplant cutlets at Aldi are great omg. 10/10 easiest eggplant Parmesan I could make and it tastes great

im going to opt to *not tandem read* because I generally like chaol and think I could enjoy a book entirely about him

to tandem read empire of storms & tower of dawn or to not tandem read, THAT is the question, and I am already starting empire of storms 😂 unable to make up my mind

oh im like 150 pages away from finishing Queen of shadows and OMG I absolutely love this one!

im gonna try taking my time with Queen of shadows, I have heard nothing but good things about this book and while I’m on the edge of my seat i just….. wanna stay in this one for a while lol (at least i think)

i finished heir of fire…. that book was…. a chore, to say the least 😭

okay I’m halfway through heir of fire and I cannot get into manon???? am I alone???? i hope she becomes more relevant soon so i can enjoy her part

onto heir of fire now!

onto the assassins blade!!!

i finished crown of midnight and OH……. OH. Oh.

crown of midnight is SO good. whyyyy did I ever sleep on sjm 😭

torn between wanting to read more crown of midnight and playing palworld

i just finished throne of glass (did not read assassins blade yet pls no spoilers past TOG) and started crown of midnight and ohhhhhh kayyyy i see what the hype is about… it’s no ACOTAR for me yet but im getting into it

my entire family + boyfriends family knows that I just read all day so everyone got me books. now I have like 3-4 months worth of reading ahead and as a pro-tip don’t tell anyone all you do is read because I got such a workout in hauling as many books as I did upstairs to the apartment lol.

i made an appetizer my aunt used to make a version of for holidays before she passed and my aunt who is still with us told me that it tastes exactly like hers did and she would be so proud of me. i didn’t expect to cry today????? 😭❤️

man this holiday has me S T R E S S E D

told my bf i was looking to read credence by Penelope Douglas at some point and he goes “ew” as though he’s not reading the black farm right now

i can’t deal with this holiday shit anymore

always everytime by the wrecks is such a cute song omg
